umm not sure- in the simarillon the eagle that later rescues gandalf has a similar name.

For me the filmed trilogy was reuined as a "concept" by the ending. I loved the films, but they didn't touch the heartstrings as they did with the books- well they did touch me, right up until the end.

The hobbits journey from weak and quiet to strong and able to stand up to humans- ie chucking out "sharkey" was KEY to the books. Also the fact that the mill and the trees had been cut down was key as well- symbolic that evil can succed anywhere but can be stood up to by the strong, who can become strong when required.

Nope, the letter G reminded me.

Gwhalir (sp?) was Lord of the Eagles in the third age, and saved Gandalf and the Hobbits in LOTR. He is a descendant of Throrondor, mightiest of all eagles and Lord in the First age, who kept Goldolin safe...
